This rugged cutter is designed to cut the following:
• ACSR power cable up to and including 556 kcmil
• 500 kcmil hard drawn electrical conductors 35,6 mm maximum outside diameter
• 750 kcmil soft drawn electrical conductors 40,6 mm maximum outside diameter
• Self-support (figure 8) telecommunications cable 44,2 mm with a maximum support messenger size of 7mm
• Overall length 457mm
Note: Do not exceed these maximum cutting capacities for this tool or tool damage will occur.
When cutting with this tool, observe the following important directions:
• The cable must enter into the jaws of the tool exactly perpendicular (90 degrees) to the cutting blades so as to result in a circular cross-section cut.
• When cutting self-support cable, always orient the supporting strand so it faces the handles for maximum leverage.
• If you encounter excessive cutting resistance, use a one click cutting cycle until the cutter moves freely.
• Tighten the fulcrum nut periodically and keep the handle bolts tight. The tool will not operate properly unless the fulcrum nut is at least 15 ft-lbs. (20 Newton meters).
• Blades made from 6150 alloy steel

This ingenious tool offers big cutter performance without long handles to tackle large cutting jobs in tight spaces such as manholes.
• Fiberglass handles with 100 KV/ft. dielectric strength
• 750 kcmil / 400mm² maximum capacity
• Blades open to accept 40 mm diameter cable
• Overall length is a compact 483 mm
• Maximum mechanical advantage is provided by a two-speed ratcheting mechanism which lets you switch between fast action blade movement (5 strokes to open or close) or high leverage cutting (18 strokes to close)
• For greatest leverage, the ratchet can advance one tooth with each closing stroke
• To change blade direction, just flick a lever on the blade head. Also, the speed switch works with blade movement in either direction.
• Designed to make every cut smoothly, the precision-ground, high alloy tool steel blades are twice as thick as those on some competing cutters and offer excellent cutting edge performance
• A special hardening process on the ratchet and pawl mechanism gives them extra durability.
